Rudy Giuliani, a lawyer for President Donald Trump, said Monday that WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange had done “nothing wrong” and should not go to jail for disseminating stolen information just as major media does.
“Let’s take the Pentagon Papers,” Giuliani told Fox News. “The Pentagon Papers were stolen property, weren’t they? It was in The New York Times and The Washington Post. Nobody went to jail at The New York Times and The Washington Post.”
Giuliani said there were “revelations during the Bush administration” such as Abu Ghraib. “All of that is stolen property taken from the government, it’s against the law. But once it gets to a media publication, they can publish it,” Giuliani said, “for the purpose of informing people.”
“You can’t put Assange in a different position,” he said. “He was a guy who communicated.”

For once I actually agree with “Noun Verb 911”-iani. I agree Assange should Not be prosecuted.

That has to be a first…agreeing with Rudy? Ugh.
Assange needs to be released and paid damages for being illegally imprisoned for 7(?) Years.

Surely Julian Assange has the goods on Rudy Giuliani. He reeks of corruption and shady connections.

according to a quick google search. Convenient too, being new years eve. I going to guess that this inconveniently true assessment by a stopped clock will get swept under the rug.

In fact they should be defying important and false establishment narratives such as this one and yet…crickets.
And really to call it an establishment narrative doesn’t do it justice. It’s an obvious political persecution, human rights issue and a frontal assault on the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Perhaps Giuliani know of leaks that will benefit Trump and/or hurt the fixers at the DOJ and the FBI, and he’s trying to build credibility for when he refuses to condemn those leakers, and ask the DOJ to make examples of them.
And/or Giuliani is hoping for Assange to crack open his vault and release some of his stash of “last resort against the deep state” material. If Assange thinks Trump won’t seek to put him in GTMO, then maybe he’ll think the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Some nasty revelations might be coming soon from the Inspector General, and if some of that ties into what Wikileaks has released in the past, then it’s to Giuliani’s/Trump’s advantage to not have Wikileaks thought of as the black hats.
Because the media loves connecting the dots. Leaks that hurt Clinton and the establishment bad, leakers bad, Wikileaks bad, new leaks that support what Wikileaks says, also bad.

And Giuliani could be getting cute with the media. If they don’t defend Wikileaks, then they’re conceding that the government gets to decide which reporters get to be considered real journalists.
Are commentators, who often have a professed bias, protected? If yes, then what’s the distinction between them and Wikileaks, with their professed anti-war crimes bias? The media doesn’t like that Wikileaks is better at their jobs than they are?

And that their answers will piss off voters that voted Democratic in 2016/2018.
That would maybe be too cute, as many Republicans want Assange taken out. Not just Clinton, there are lots of others with an actual Republican party affiliation who loathe Assange’s leaks regarding the wars.
Maybe Trump can afford to piss them off, because hey, what are they going to do, vote for any of the likely Democratic candidates for President? Not likely, but they might stay home if toyed with too many times.

talking heads on the left and right? Any other time Rudy NineEleveni opens his mouth they can’t get enough of him.
